Scroll down for my latest review, Max Lucado’s “You Can Be Everything God Wants You to Be”, provided by BookSneeze’s Blogging for Books program!

I love to read.  My favorites are pretty much anything by Agatha Christie, Bill Bryson, and Anne Bronte’s “The Tenant of Wildfell Hall”.  Aside from those selections, I also love to read Christian fiction.  I decided to turn that love into something creative and useful by writing one review a month on this blog.  I review books that I’ve chosen based on my own personal interest.  I don’t receive any reimbursement for these reviews, so you can trust that it’s unbiased.  If I enjoy a book {and I usually do}, then I like to pass it along to another reader by hosting a book giveaway.

My review style has changed with each one, and I’m slowly developing a more consistent, professional style.  If you’d like to see what I think about a particular book, then click on one of the reviews below.  I’m always open to suggestions, so if there’s a book that you think that I should consider reading and reviewing, please send me an email at mrs{dot}practicallyperfect{at}gmail{dot}com.

Review of “You Can Be Everything God Wants You to Be” by Max Lucado

I received a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze’s Blogging for Books program.  Max Lucado does a good job of relaying words of wisdom with an engaging style while still keeping it short and sweet.  He writes a message of encouragement to find your niche and to pursue those areas that interest you – whether that’s science of teaching or taking care of children, or whatever God has in mind for you.  We all have different gifts, and God wants us to use them to fulfill His plan for our life.

This book is a quick, easy ready and would be a great gift for a high school or college graduate.  It’s a bit dry in some places, but this is typical for most inspirational books.  It was a good reminder to me that I’m most blessed when I’m pursuing those areas in my life where I have an interest and am serving God.
